Resources. “ .
The favorable action of the finance
committee Friday on the propoettlon to
call an election for the. Issuance of
bonde for the waterworka to the
amount of *600,000 put* the matter
squarely up to oouaotL ;
It la mora than probebl* that coun
ell will adopt tha favorable report of
tEa committee and that the election'
will be held on March I, th* date liked
for as most convenient and beat by
the management of Hie wstsrwni-lu
If this, aa Is suspected and suggested
by gentlemen Interested to municipal
ownerahlp for Atlanta, is a movement
to forestall the Issuing of bondu for a
municipal lighting plant provided for In
the ordinance Introduced by Dr. Lon-
gtno, It seems to have gained success
so far, and the fact that th* matter
was acted upon In secret session by the
finance committee seems to Indicate
that such. In part, was the object in
view.
The apprehension was expressed In
The Georgian Friday that, tbs matter
would be token up In secret session,
and It proved to be well grounded.
Water Bond Itsu* Provided For,
If council wants the water bond
election, no legtalatlve action will have
to be taken by the Georgia legislature,
the general assembly having amended
the charter In 1*06 In qrder to allow
such an election.
The general manager of th* water-
works department, Colonel Park
Woodward, In addition to recommend-
Ing to the water board that auch an
election be held, appeared In person
before the finance committee, and
pleaded‘the neccaalty-.gnd urgency of
on immedIMe. election _on _bopde for
the waterworks. The president of th*
water board, Frank P. Rice. In his an.
fervor that such an election be called.
err. Is no .doubt that the vast ma
jority** clttxens Of Atlanta and of the
registered voters favor the-city own
